The second half of the book offers comprehensive coverage of every butterfly family, along with fascinating accounts of butterfly behavior. Readers of all backgrounds will be delighted and informed by interesting facts and stories about Lepidoptera, from the spectacular Tiger Swallowtail, Blue Morpho, and Tibetan Glory, to the legendary Giant Birdwings and the cryptic Variegated Rajah, Amber Phantom, and Scarlet-eyed Skipper. Many books about these beloved creatures focus exclusively on photos of butterflies, with little accompanying text and scant scientific value. However, in this book, Hoskins provides a scientifically rigorous introduction to butterflies that is suitable for both laypersons and professionals. Lepidopterists will benefit from the unique and extensive taxonomically based survey, while enthusiastic amateurs will learn more about butterfly biology without being overwhelmed by jargon..."--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Butterflies. 650 0 $a Butterflies $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Butterflies $v Pictorial works. 650 7 $a Butterflies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00843103 650 7 $a Butterflies $x Behavior. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00843105 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602021129.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022900.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190726011900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C880A8FEAF6A11E9816CD31097128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
